Stratoliner S – 4,000 milesWhat do you love most about touring on your Star? It's not the destination, it's the ride. I love traveling to any destination on my Yamaha. I've owned five Yamaha models and I've toured on all of them, even my Vmax. Yamaha has always been my bike of choice. I've tried others too but Yamaha has the most appealing, best engine and power, most comfortable ride for me. An afternoon jaunt is fun too but I prefer to have at least a few days and a destination so I can spend more time riding, avoiding highways while taking the most scenic backroads. There is nothing like it. Non-bikers do not get it and it's hard to make them understand the feeling of traveling just you, your motorcycle and the open road ahead. Sadly I have a day job or I would be touring more often. I'm only four miles from work but I commute on my Yamaha just so I can ride!Just bought the 2014 Stratoliner S new. Only one tour on it so far. Less than 4000 miles. 17000 on Vstar, 15000 miles on Raider, 5000 miles on VMax, can't recall what was on FJR...

If you wish to see more details of my rides/trips made on my Star Motorcycle, you are welcome to view my photos on my Facebook page. (Motorcycle Related Photos Are Set To Public) I mostly ride for pleasure. Overnight and multi-day rides. I also use the bike for work related tasks as I can haul required items in the spacious saddle bags. This is my second Star Motorcycle. I'd buy another without hesitation. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!
